sequestering carbon, several books at a time CXLI

While the birthday presents were accumulating, other books not slated to be birthday presents were also accumulating.  Here's that batch:


No, the 43 Visions for Complexity book isn't upside-down.  It just has the title on the spine running upwards, rather than downwards.  I know this is more traditional in other languages, but it makes the bookshelf annoyingly inconsistent when it's done in English-language books.

Covid-19 diary : pollution

So, the Covid-19 lockdown has reduced pollution noticeably, in more ways than one.

Less smog in China, less NOx in Europe (but unfortunately not dolphins in the clearer Venice canals).

And, something I’ve recently noticed – no spam phone calls!

Day two in Amsterdam.

multi-storey bike park

My second day at CCS, and today I had lots of choice of what to go to, as there were 16 parallel sessions.  To expand my range, I chose the morning workshop on Fractional Calculus, followed by the afternoon workshop on Complexity for History and History for Complexity. Then it was the conference dinner: a magnificent Chinese meal on a multi-storey boat.
